A high-energy, comedic superhero action film built on the buddy-cop dynamic between a spoiled heir and his resourceful partner, balancing martial arts spectacle with irreverent humor.

Britt Reid, the heir to the largest newspaper fortune in Los Angeles, is a spoiled playboy who has been, thus far, happy to lead an aimless life. After his father dies, Britt meets Kato, a resourceful company employee. Realizing that they have the talent and resources to make something of their lives, Britt and Kato join forces as costumed crime-fighters to bring down the city's most-powerful criminal, Chudnofsky.
